I need to buy a bigger car (7 seats) quickly for our holiday in 2 weeks' time. I was planning to buy privately but am a bit concerned about getting scammed (just had a near miss) so am going to look at secondhand car dealers.
All the prices on e.g. autotrader and at a couple of local places I've looked at seem way higher than the valuations on Parker's car price guide. Is this because they expect you to negotiate a discount? If so, how big? I tried (and failed miserably) at one of the local places- I asked what their best price would be and they said the price on the windscreen as it was fair (was listed as £7500 in Parker's guide, he was selling it for £8750- similar mileage).
I'd be gratedul for anyone's advice or experience?
